From quiet and peaceful in Mardorf, Rehburg-Loccum and Hagenburg, or more lively in bustling Steinhude – this highly popular local beauty spot has something for every taste. And of course, just the right accommodation: from cosy holiday flats and cottages, to guest houses and hotels, as well as attractive farmstays out in the countryside.

The countryside around Steinhuder Meer is unusually diverse, with a delightful patchwork of forests, peatbogs, heather-covered moors and ice-age shifting sand dunes. Steinhuder Meer has a large bathing beach on its northern bank, and a bathing island in Steinhude for a perfect beach holiday – especially for families with small children, because the shallow water warms up quickly at the beginning of summer.

So come on in, the water’s lovely! You can expect a warm welcome to your memorable stay with a large variety of holiday and leisure experiences all around the Steinhuder Meer. The cultural centres around the lake are the towns of Neustadt am Rübenberge and Wunstorf
